Kurudh,District Dhamtari.

The project of Chhattisgarh Infrastructure aims to provide state-of-the-art Herbal Park to promote

Pre-Processing, Intermediaries Processing, Manufacturing and Trading of Herbal &

Medicinal Products.

The planning of the on-site infrastructure including specialized infrastructure facilities within the Park is

being made. Entrepreneurs would set up their Processing/ Trading units in the Park.

The Government of Chhattisgarh will facilitate the off-site infrastructure. To enhance the

marketability of the project, CIDC had invited expression of Interest from various established industries for setting-up their units in the park

and has received fairly good response.

The project will be implemented on Public Private Partnership (PPP) format through a Special Purpose Company (SPC).GOCG will provide land to the developer on long

lease of 90 years.

In the sector of Chhattisgarh Infrastructure, the state has developed a lot

in the field of roadways, railways and airports.

Chhattisgarh is in the central part of the country which is well connected by all weather roads and comprises 12 national highways.These highways

constitute 2,289 km of roads in the region while the state highways account for 5,240 km.

In the railways sector, state has a strong railway network and falls under the

jurisdiction of the South East Central Railways.

The two major railway stations in the state are Raipur and Bilaspur. The highest freight loading capacity in India is recorded in Chhattisgarh and

around one-sixth of the revenue of Indian Railways comes from this state.

The state government has also planned to construct about 300 km of rail network in the region. To take this initiative ahead, the government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with South Eastern Coalfields and IRCON International. The

main objective of the project is to have two rail corridors - East Corridor and the East-West Corridor.

Chhattisgarh has two domestic airports and eight air strips in Bhilai, Bilaspur, Korba, Raigarh, Jagdalpur,

Ambikapur, Jashpur Nagar and Sarangarh. The Airport Authority of India has plans to build Raigarh and

Bilaspur in the state in future.

Chhattisgarh, the developing tourist spot, has developed its physical infrastructure to attract the attention of domestic as well as foreign investors. The transport has been given immense focus as the state has nearly 24,678 kilometres of national highway that

accounts for the 71% of total road infrastructure in the state.

The strong factor of the huge investment in state is the large road network. For improving the Chhattisgarh Infrastructure, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is planning to develop five national highway projects aggregating 450 km through private sector participation so as to meet the state's

growing transport requirements. The Asian Development Bank will give funds to upgrade the state’s highway network.
